Dash camera video documents the heroic efforts of Officer Steve Nunez and four others who lifted the overturned SUV off the girl on May 8. As soon as Nunez heard a girl was trapped, he sprang into action and started flagging down anyone who would help.

“At that moment, he saw the girl appeared to stop breathing and then she gasped again,” Nunez said.

Once the group lifted the SUV off the girl, Nunez ran back to his car and radioed for medical help. The girl was rushed to University of New Mexico Hospital.
